Tools for Object File Query and Manipulation
Object files generated by Silicon Graphics compilers are in the Executable and Linking Format (ELF), the format specified by the SVR4 ABI. IRIX provides several tools to query and manipulate object files:
- dis
- Dissembles an object file into machine instructions.
- elfdump
- Lists the contents of an ELF-format object file.
- file
- Provides descriptive information on the properties of a file.
- nm
- Lists symbol table information.
- size
- Prints the size of each section of an object file.
- strip
- Removes symbol table and relocation bits from an object file, which saves space after you've debugged your program.
